How do you know that? GoA can't check that information, data protection act m8.


maybe someone in goa bought a cheat off him, paypal will give you the address and ebay will show you the email address. now cross reference this information for similiarities in your subscriber database and the ban stick cometh...

doesn't have to do anything with the DPA.

stupid people do stupid things..

... or perhaps he mentioned it ingame to someone too.....

Trust me - I know from talking in person to Kemor that the GMs do not ban people unless they are absolutely sure of guilt. Just because they won't go public with how they gather the information doesn't mean they don't do it.

Those of you who would rather bury your heads in the sand to thoughts like this and just carry on GOA-bashing, feel free.

I don't think they have the power or the right to do that. Who knows what happened, just from reading a few of your posts on this thread you look the stupid one.

It has to be proof on paper though? Anyone could make an account on ebay with the name Jupitus and sell cheats. Then GoA banned them as well?

And again what as Sentimos done? GoA obviously hates Gimmly or shall I say the GMs as GoA know nothing about it.

Erm..

If someone used the msn name Jupitus.. and the adress didnt trace to the grumpy old man on these forums ( muahah :p) they could hardly ban _THE_ jupitus xD

No - but heck, it gives them a great clue where to start looking..... for example:

1) GM spots DAOC cheats on sale in Europe by someone with mail address 'uberbigbeast'at'yahoo.com'.

2) They have a player in the database called 'uberbigbeast', so they check the background

3) Checking logs they find PMs from 'uberbigbeast' explaining to 'customerA' how to activate the cheat they just bought.

Get the idea?

Just like they might search on ebay for someone selling characters... someone is selling a RR8 Minstrel with xxx and yyy stuff, also a RR3 blah and a RR2 blah blah... they look in their database and find one account with that combo of characters... do they ban it? No... they look into it in detail, and then suddenley wow, in their chat logs they see PMs from the person selling replying to questions about how they can pay them etc etc etc... alternatively, they wait for the ebay auction to end, and watch for sudden change of IP, change of billing, change of subs pass and so on.... you guys are really bloody dumb if you don't think GOA have ways to check on what people are up to... :rolleyes:

Yes but the eBay user name is not the same as the character name? And I don't think Gimmly would have said it in game again. People learn from there mistakes.

I make an ebay account with the name Jupitus or jup12fh etc and a similar e-mail, I can get you banned?

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Simple.

In other words, if you play fair n square - by the rules - you've got nothing to worry about.

These idiots who sell cheats etc deserve permabans. They are, to quote Blackadder IV, "as guilty as a puppy next to a pile of poo"

Only if at the same time you manage to steal my game login details, use my account in an incriminating way, match my IP address, use my CC or any of the other 'tell-tale' signs they would look for before banning someone.

Ban or not... GOA must pay him back for the remaining amount of time he has paid for even tho he is banned for whatever reason. Closing access to a customer without refund is only legal if: a) customer has accepted those terms by contract and b) custumer is a company. Given the fact its a game, I surely dont believe the dude is actually a company, so refund must be made in full ;)

Ohh, and I still doubt its legal to ban customers even tho a CoC or other rules of conduct says so... but never mind what I think ;)

Ohh, and Jupitor is right. There are million of ways to check for "evidence". I work at a hosting company myself and the trace logs for whatever our customers are doing on our servers are miles long ;)

Ohh, and didnt Rambo sell his account on ebay once? I surely saw both pictures and everything... And the new owner is still playing iirc ;)

Do the math. If I was him I would start selling them again heck I would give them away after what GoA just done, I was talking to him on IRC yesterday and he made 3 ML10s, 2 fully toaed and 1 48 bm toaed since the last ban. I would be pissed as well let alone banning his brother (real shame) which had completely nothing to do with him apart from play under the same roof.

How can you get someone’s IP / CC off ebay? You think they are going to give them to GoA? Data protection act again you could sue GoA / Ebay for millions.

And what if you’re on a dynamic IP?

Shouldn't GoA concentrate on people cheating then going after people they dislike? Where my subs going to?

Say if you have 4 accounts, 2 each since the release of the game active say 50% of that time? 4x £8 a month or what ever that’s a hell of a lot of money and time / effort.

I agree its a shame his brother got banned because he sharded the same address as him, still how does GoA know that his brother wont use the account? they dont. is it unfair on his brother, yes it probably is. Is it GoAs fault for the stupidity of his brother no.

It is not as if he wasn't warned about his actions, i would like to think that his brother would listen and have more influence from him in changing his attitude than GoA.

Kadayn, you are so full of shit it's untrue :rolleyes: Read what I put - I told you they only take the ebay as an indication someone may be up to no good, then base investigations around that - they don't need details from ebay if they subsequently find all the evidence they need in their own server logs.

As for whether GOA should concentrate on people cheating - concentrating on the source of the cheats, ie the seller, is doing that but in a far more proactive way.... sounds to me like you're just a GOA-basher for the fun of it and don't take rule-breaking very seriously at all... wouldn't suprise me if you were cheating yourself, given your apparent support for those who promote it :twak:

Where’s the proof that he was selling them when they banned him then?

You’re telling me 2 different credit cards with 2 different names is not enough proof?

No but GoA usually post and last time Gimmly posted the logs.

Would carry this argument on all day but no one knows if there was logs or not and GoA are not going to admit they fucking hated the guy

You think they are going to explain exactly how they caught him in their message?

GOA: Hey, we caught you doing bad stuff, and we caught you because you did this and that and that and this blah blah...

Bad Guy: Oooops, ok GOA, my bad, sorry, fair cop.

*Bad Guy nips off to create a new account with new found knowledge on how GOA caught him out*

Yes, perhaps Sentimos isn't quite as bad as Gimmly, but seems to me he's let him use (or not adequately prevented his use of) his FH account and/or his DAOC account...
